This fall we bring you to the world of music: to annoying songs you can't get out of your head for the life of you, songs that you instantly change the radio away from while you're in the car, and artists that get in the news way too often (we're looking at you, Justin Bieber). But we also bring you to the classics: the legends of classic rock, the beginnings of R&B, and even classical music. 21 of our best artists and groups will join us on this journey, and if you wish to be one of them, just

This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or submission of anything else prohibited within the MafiaScum forums.
This is a game. Therefore, you are expected to play to the best of your ability.
This game is anonymous. You must refrain from revealing or hinting at your MafiaScum username during the game and from revealing your game identity on MafiaScum. (You are allowed to reveal your identity in your confessional.)
Do not discuss the game anywhere, with the exception of the forums, outside communication with the moderators, and any Chatzys the mods provide for challenge purposes.
Private communication with players outside of your tribe is strictly prohibited unless otherwise stated.
Do not take screenshots of PMs, mod posts, or anything else to attempt to prove or disprove anything. Do not use the forum to forward PMs. Quoting PMs, however, is allowed.
Do not modify your avatar during the game. The moderating team has spent time and care to create these avatars, and we would rather not spend time making unnecessary revisions.
We are not infallible, so if we make a mistake, please point it out to one of us privately so that we can make corrections if necessary.
We have worked extensively to produce a game that is enjoyed by all involved. As such, we promise to offer each player respect but expect to be shown the same in return.
Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask. Yes, this is a competition, but do not attempt to undermine challenges or game mechanics for your own gain. This violates both the spirit of the game and common respect mentioned above.
We reserve the right to implement new rules if needed. The players will be told if this happens.
Taken in parts from Arkham City and Bahamas
Our game is
ANONYMOUS
. As stated in the general rules, all participants are strictly prohibited from so much as hinting to their own identities or implying another player's Mafiascum identity. Communication outside the private message system is also forbidden unless otherwise stated. Failure to follow this rule can result in a variety of consequences ranging from a terse warning to one's elimination from the game. We reserve the right to determine the severity of possible infractions.
Each round will have an Immunity Challenge. We appreciate the fact that prospective contestants will enter this game with a range of skills. With this in mind, understand that we as mods aren't able to cater to all players' needs and time constraints in challenges.
Winners of Immunity Challenges will be safe from elimination that round and cannot be voted out in Tribal Councils.
The outcomes of all Challenges are final. That said, however, be sure to keep Rule 8 of the general rules in mind.
Challenge tiebreakers have been created already, and will be announced. If you have questions about tiebreakers, please do not hesitate to ask.
Each round will also include Tribal Council. At Tribal, everybody will vote someone out, and the player with the most votes will be eliminated from the game.
Tribal Councils will last twenty-four hours from the moment we notify relevant parties. If a player fails to submit a vote within the given time-frame, he or she will self-vote and accumulate a strike penalty. In the event that a player knows he or she will be unable to vote by deadline, that player may notify us and cast a conditional vote to avoid penalization.
The results of Tribal Councils may be posted before deadline if and only if all persons involved have submitted a vote. Regardless of who has voted, a Tribal Council result will not be revealed less than twelve hours into the Tribal Council.
The modification of votes after they have been submitted
is
permitted. However, you must make a separate post in your confessional, and it must come before the results are revealed.
The outcomes of Tribal Councils are final. That said, be sure to keep Rule 8 of the general rules in mind.
Failure to vote will result in a self-vote penalty. Unless the mods are notified in advance, we have the right to eliminate you after three self-votes or two consecutive votes.
The procedure for the Final Tribal Council will be announced when it occurs.
In the event that a Tribal Council ends in a tie, we will go to a tiebreaker.
The initial tiebreaker is always a revote. The only people who can be voted are those who were in the tie, and the tied players may not vote. Any reward items may not be used.
If the revote still results in a tie, rocks will be drawn as a tiebreaker. All players will draw rocks (except players with Immunity because of a challenge win or idol).
If the game is in the Final Four or later, a tiebreaker challenge will be played between the players in the tie instead. The loser of this challenge is eliminated.
Twists will be implemented without warning or provocation throughout the game. The time and setting of each twist has already been determined, so as to avoid giving an unfair advantage or disadvantage to a player or group of players.
If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, please contact one of the mods. Please also fill out the application if you wish to spectate, we do have spots open for spectators. Applications will be due four days from now, on Friday, December 4 at noon EST. We will be opening the forums to the players Saturday night at 7pm.
: No challenges or Tribal Councils will occur on Christmas Day or New Year's Day.
